And maybe too, if anyone on here has used ANY of the US receiving addresses across the border, they could list it, so that others could refer to it and if you were happy with their service and the process you used and followed.

I've used them once, mostly because BBTS was going to charge me about $1000 in shipping on some preordered items.
It was a good experience, they were big boxes, in perfect condition. Service was quick and they charged a tiny fee. I went from home (Oakville) to there and back in under three hours.

Sure, just strap the kids on the roof.
Winch straps are incredibly strong. This particular one has a 16,200 lb Break Strength. And best of all they come in 5 different colors:
If your going to strap your kids to the roof of your car, you might as well be stylish about it!
Or you could get a cargo box attached to the roof of your car and stuff your kids in there:
Just drill a few holes to make sure thier getting enough oxygen.

Honestly that's just insane. I would definitely move on to a much more affordable hobby at that point. And you may very well be looking at like a 5% Donald Trump tax addded on to that very soon. It doesnt matter how friendly your country is with the US. In fact, the more friendly the more likely your going to be targeted. That appears to be Trumps tactic at this point, alienating all of the US's most important trade partners.

The price point doesn't really matter to me either because we're overpaying for everything. To me, overpaying for a $200 item is just as galling as overpaying for a $1000 item. I'm okay with paying FMV on items that have appreciated in value, because that's part of collecting, but 60%-ish for arbitrary reasons means simply being bent over. 'Pay to play' is fine, but this is just wasteful.

Might be cheaper to buy from a flipper soon. It might be already.

Honestly, using the term "bent over" just doesnt cut it in this situation. 60%-ish is more like being bent over, then recieving 50 public lashings, then being racked and disemboweled. That to me is a much more accurate description, financially speaking, of what 60%-ish is really like.
